A SKILLS course is helping people’s wellbeing, thanks to mental health charity Mind.
The Abingdon branch is running a four-week course to make Christmas decorations as part of its Mend At Mind programme.
Among those taking part was Diana Matthews, with help from the charity’s Shirley Heckler.
Ms Heckler said: “People may be feeling lonely or depressed or anxious and they can come to a friendly, supportive environment.
“Also, they get to make some pretty nice stuff.”
To book a place on the Wednesday afternoon course at the charity’s Broad Street base, call 01235 522096.
